Recording "real life" in small communities throughout Mississippi with black-and-white film and cheap or old cameras — the resulting imperfections, the soft focus and light leaks serve as metaphors for how landscape, race and religion have played a part in the complicated history of Mississippi and still affect lives today.

While most who question the future focus on the big issues, each one of us is also preoccupied with personal concerns—love, loss, aging, death. This impressive exhibition offers over 160 works by the conceptual photographer Phillip Toledano which explore these themes in ways both touching and wholly irreverent.
